Chapter 2 Can't Sink It
Shen Pomegranate was also startled, I heard that there are two people in this water, there are very few places to dive, and if you don't get it right, you can't pounce, and you don't dare to go into the water if you don't know how to be watery.
The three guns fluttered vigorously in the water, and shouted for help, it didn't seem that they knew how to water, and the three guns were so frightened that they sat on the ground, their legs were weak, and they only cried.
The children on the shore were very frightened, and they hurried to the ground to call the adults, but the three guns were not strong, and there was no figure after a few flutters.
"My son! Help, help! "Sanpao Niang only knows how to call for help.
Shen Shiliu looked at it, now only she can save people, she can swim, but she is now in this figure, I don't know if she can sink directly into the bottom. But now I can't see death without help, so I can only take off my shoes and plunge into it with a fierce man.
With a "pop", the water surface was slapped quite loudly, and Shen Pomegranate was also a little painful when he was slapped at this time. Fortunately, I didn't forget to swim, so I hurried to find the child.
The river water is clear, and it is easy to find people, but she ignores a problem, that is, with her own body, she can't dive at all if she wants to dive, and the resistance is too great! Fortunately, the three guns fluttered again, and she quickly hugged the small body of the three guns and hurried to the shore.
The surrounding people came, and when the fathers and villagers saw that there was no movement on the water, they estimated that there was more than one auspicious, and when they saw Shen Pomegranate coming out and brought the child up, they all took the handle and took the three guns first, and then pulled Shen Pomegranate ashore. It didn't take much effort to pull the child, and when he pulled the pomegranate, several strong men were so tired that they were panting.
"Three cannons, wake up quickly, my mother can't live without you!" Sanpao Niang has a total of three children, and there are two girls on it, just such a son, if he dies, their family will be considered extinct.
Lang Zhong is in the county seat, they are poor in Chaoxia Village, there is no Lang Zhong at all, and now the child is caught, but his face is already red, even if he waits for Lang Zhong, it is useless.
"I'm coming!" Shen Shimei was also very tired, and she felt that her lungs were about to explode when the fat in this body moved.
Shen Shiliu stood up, pulled the two feet of the three guns and stood upside down, and his knees pressed against the chest of the three guns.
"Oh, you let my son go, you're going to kill my son!" Sanpao Niang was scared to death when she saw it, if her son died, she would die so sinful, she would fight with Shen Shimei.
"Puff" The three cannons spit out a mouthful of water, dripping water down his mouth and nostrils, but his breathing was restored.
Shen Pomegranate put the person down, and then sat back on the ground and gasped.
"This girl has two hits, or these three cannons will really be out of gas!" The onlookers began to talk, and Shen Shiliu knew that he had done something good this time.
The three guns spit out the water and woke up, so frightened that they cried, and the three guns hurriedly thanked Shen Shimei.
"It's okay......" Shen Pomegranate felt that his heart was about to jump out, this fat body was really overwhelmed.
Shen Shu also came outside the crowd, and when he saw that Shen Pomegranate was still wet on the ground, he thought that his sister would not be able to hang herself and would throw herself into the river, so he hurriedly grabbed Shen Pomegranate and scolded: "Why are you so ruthless, if you die, how sad will your father and mother be?" For the sake of Han Shuliang, that Wang Ba calf, don't you care about your father? ”
Shen Shiliu opened his mouth and was about to explain, but Shen Shu scolded again: "You just don't want to live like this? ”
"I didn't want to look for a short-term ......" Shen Shiliu finally found a gap and said, and the three guns next to him came up to explain two more sentences, and Shen Shu understood.
Shen Shu breathed a sigh of relief and helped his sister up: "It's okay if it's not." "The Shen family's family style is stable, so the children of the Shen family are also relatively stable, especially Shen Shu, who has few words, but he still takes good care of this sister.
Shen Pomegranate was wet, so Shen Shu sent Shen Pomegranate home first, and then returned to the ground. Father Shen was startled at first, but later he was relieved to know that it was not his own daughter who was looking for a short time.
Zheng asked Shen Shimei to wipe the water droplets on his body first, and took the wet clothes to dry, Shen Shimei looked for clothes in the room, only to find that there were no clothes suitable for him, and he couldn't wear them before.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to the county seat to tear the cloth and make another one for you, and these few pieces will be changed to your brother......" Zheng said, the clothes can be changed from fat to thin, but thin can't be changed to fat.
Shen Shiliu shook his head, found a shirt that could be stuffed into himself, and put it on first.
"Don't do it, I'll be thin and white in a few days, let's deal with it first, I'll rub corn at home in the afternoon, and I don't have to go out of the yard, so it's okay." Shen Shiliu said, cloth and cotton are not cheap in this place, the family is poor, and it is best to save if you can.
Zheng Shi listened: "This ......"
"Mother, listen to me, I'll lose weight in a few days!" She was more determined to lose weight when she was in the water just now, and it was really inconvenient to be stupid, and now with this figure, she probably couldn't bend down when she went to the ground to plant seedlings.
In order to subsidize the family, Zheng took on a lot of ready-to-wear work in the county, helping people make clothes and patching, but the income was still not enough.
Shen Shimei sat in the yard, holding two baskets of corn cobs and rubbing the seeds, thinking while rubbing, this day can't be so poor, whether people are fat or ugly or secondary, but the days have to be fed, even if she reduces the amount of food, this family can be regarded as having enough to eat at most, but if anyone has an illness and a disaster, there is no money to sell medicine, and Shen Shu's marriage is directly blown, and there is no decent bride price.
"Pomegranate, what's wrong? What's on your mind? Zheng saw that Shen Shimei had not moved for a long time, and her eyes were still straight, so she asked, she was afraid that her daughter would be cranky.
Shen Shimei came back to his senses, and then asked, "Mother, can you cut pigweed on the mountain?" ”
Zheng was stunned: "Yes, yes, but we don't have pigs at home, why are you asking this?" ”
"Then why don't we raise pigs? I'd also like to raise some chicks and ducks! Shen Shiliu said.
"Huh? What do you feed pigs? Not enough food! Zheng said, not to mention his family, the people in the village want to raise pigs, and at the end of the year, they can not only eat meat and oil at home, but also take it to the county seat to buy, but every family is tight enough to eat and wear, and there is nothing to raise pigs, so it is good to raise some chickens, ducks and geese.
Shen Pomegranate thought about it and said: "It should be enough to boil pig food with pigweed and bean cake, and in the future, I will go up to the mountain to cut pigweed, get some ducklings, and put them in the river to raise, and even save feeding!" ”
"This, let's discuss it with your father first, if you really want to raise pigs and ducks, you have to build a pigsty and a duck house in the yard first!" Zheng said that it costs some money to catch pigs and buy ducks, and she is a traditional woman, and she has to discuss with her grandfather first when there are important things in the family.
"Okay!" Shen Shiliu said that although she is losing weight now, resource accumulation is the primary goal now, and if she can't eat it now, it doesn't mean that she can't eat it in the future, and it's the right thing to make life better first.
At noon, Zheng and Shen Shimei's mother and daughter went to the field to deliver food together, and as soon as Shen Shimei's words were said, Shen's father pondered first.
"I think so." Shen Shu was the first to agree, and Shen Shiliu looked over with a smile on his face.
Shen's father pondered for a while, and felt that what Shen Shimei said made sense, the poor family is rich, work hard now, and life will be better in the future, if you raise pigs, you can sell them for money, and ducks can lay eggs, whether you keep them to eat or sell them, you won't lose money. The most important thing is that Shen Pomegranate can have something to do, and he doesn't have to think about it every day, in case there is any dirty work, let the man in the family help do it, which is good.
"Nacheng, let your mother and your brother go to the county seat to buy pigs in the afternoon, and I'll build a pigsty at home!" Shen's father directly agreed, and the family was happy, especially Shen Shimei's face was still excited.
In the afternoon, Zheng and Shen Shu borrowed a trolley and went to the county seat, and Shen Pomegranate went to the mountains outside the village to dig soil.
The pigsty is not big, it is enough to put two pigs, and Shen Shimei also reminded Shen's father to dig a big pit next to the pigsty.
"In the future, the pig's feces and urine will be saved, and it can be sprinkled on the crops!" Shen Shiliu said, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and she even has to use pig manure!
Father Shen smiled: "It's still a girl's heart!" "Then he started digging the pit.
Taking advantage of this effort, Shen Shiliu took the rope and went to the mountain first, she had to cut the pigweed quickly, otherwise the pigs would not have to eat in the afternoon.
When Zheng and Shen Shu came back from the county seat in the evening, there were little piglets in two baskets on the cart.
"The pigsty is ready, let's get it in first!" Father Shen came over and kept the two front legs of the pig's lamb and put the pig's lamb in the pen.
Shen Pomegranate hurriedly went to cut the pigweed, mixed with soybean cake and boiled it to feed the pigs, the two little pigs were not afraid of raw, they hummed and ate if they had food, in Shen Shimei's eyes, these two pigs were money!
In the evening, the family sat down to eat, and Shen's father said: "Starting tomorrow, Shen Shu will accompany his sister to cut pigweed when he has time." ”
"Hmm." Shen Shu didn't talk much, but he knew it when he gnawed.
Zheng thought for a while and said: "Just now the village met Sanpao Niang, saying that she was going to her mother's house to visit those eggs, which can be regarded as thank you to our pomegranate for saving her family Sanpao!" ”
Father Shen heard it: "This is not good. ”
"I can't watch her child drown and tell her not to take it!" Shen Shiliu said, which made the family laugh.
Shen's father and Shen's mother are beautiful in their hearts, her pomegranate is such a good girl, and she doesn't want to repay her kindness.
"If you want it, his kid is playing tricks on you!" Shen Shu surprisingly said a long sentence.
Shen Shiliu smiled: "Eggs are not so easy to get...... "The economic conditions of several nearby villages are similar, and a basket of eggs is very precious."
Zheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "If she really wants to send it, let her change it to duck eggs, and when the time comes, I will take it to my mother-in-law to hatch it, and our family will be able to save a sum of money!" “
When Shen Shiliu heard this, it was also the same reason, the people in the village were very frank, if they didn't accept Sanpao Niang's things, maybe people would always feel that they owed her.
"Then you have less." Father Shen said.
Zheng smiled and nodded, she lives in the same village, and she is not a person who speaks loudly!
